<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;"><b>Okay, um, Hi! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/hi.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":hi:"><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/dancingbanana.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":nana:"> My name is Courtney, but I like Corey. I'm 16 years old and going into the 11th grade in just a two weeks, and I'm going to be taking college classes along with regular high school classes, so if I seem distant it's probably because I'm curently trying to cram! ^^ <3 ... um... I'm not Vegitarian or Vegan yet. But I've wanted to be for a very long time. I did try to become a Vegitarian last year, but because my family is very non-supportive I stoped shortly after. Actualy I wanted to become a Vegan, but without haveing to go through the long process of wayning off meat by becoming a Vegitarian first, so I was wondering if anyone could give me som helpful hints, I know, that probably can go on another board... but I'm just putting it here for now. ^^ <3 Well, if anyone wants to know anymore about me just ask! <3 Corey-Kun. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/dancingbanana.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":nana:"> (<---I just love that thing so much! ^^ <3)</b></span></div>

Hi Corey, and welcome to the boards. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> I also suggest checking out the Tip of the Day thread, like Karen said, and poking around the <a href="http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=174" target="_blank">New to Vegetarianism</a> forum. Good luck with going veggie!

thats great! ^^ thanks everyone here seems so nice! so I'm really glad to be here! <3 <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/dancingbanana.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":nana:">

 

[UndyingSmile]

Oh, I was also wondering... how come some people put a '*' for the 'a' in vegan?

 

[jeneticallymodified]

its so you don't need to type 'vegetarian and/or vegan' all the time. you can just put veg*an and the '*' covers both the veg-an, and the veg-etari-an words, all in one word! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

Oh! ^^ <3 thats awesome! Okay, I see. thanks! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/dancingbanana.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":nana:">

Hey, welcome and good luck with your journey becoming vegan, I hope your determination will help your family become more supportive.<br><br><br><br>
\tSo which AFI album is your favorite and what got you in to them?

 

[UndyingSmile]

Yeah! It's really odd... I told my mum and dad today, and they were actualy nicer then last year about it. My mum is still skeptical, but my dad said it'll be good for me. Healthier. ^^ I'm really glad I did it. Today I tried soy milk for the first time, it's actualy quite good! ^^<br><br><br><br>
hm, I really can't pick just one! XD I've only heard some songs from each earlier album, but I really love them! <3 I got into the a little over two years ago when I first heard ilver and Cold, and had to have more. I bought everything I could after that! lol. And I instantly joined the DF. When I did more research on them I found out what Veganism and sXe was, and so I had to research more about it. I really like the idea of sXe! I became straight edge right away. I really love being in control! ^^<br><br><br><br>
Well, I'm assuming it's safe to say you like AFI too! ^^ <3 What's your favorite album? And what got you into them? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/dancingbanana.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":nana:">

 

[UndyingSmile]

I guess... it's safe to say AOD is my favorite... although I dont own it v.v

Welcome, UndyingSmile. Very cool username.

 

[faded_amaranth]

Great to hear your sXe, I'm not but I think it's a really honorable lifestyle if the person doing it takes it seriously.<br><br>
For me it's a toss up between BSITS and AOD. I think the first heard and knew it was AFI was Day of the Phenix, then STS came out and I heard a couple more of their songs and I was like hey this band is awesome and the rest is history.
